Anti-skid error keeps coming up on my 2006 8 cyl volvo xc90. Dealer unsure how to diagnose. I am concerned my anti lock braking and 4 wheel drive will not work. Is this a known defect in volvo xc90's of that year?
2006 volvo xc90 headlamp failure. Wa.state volvo rep. Denies intermittent headlamp failure exists. This is a huge safety issue. The volvo headlights just fail when the vehicle is being driven! I and many others approx.93,487 owner's of this vehicle have spent thousands of dollars having volvo service dealer's unable to correct the serious problem. This should be a priority safety recall and volvo should immediately send out a service bulletin to all dealerships. Apparently volvo does know this problem exists and has purposely chosen to not correct the problem or to acknowledge the serious safety issue. Volvo owner's are at risk of serious injury or death. While driving the volvo the headlamps flicker and fail . The driver usually a mother with children in the car is suddenly plunged into darkness at any given speed and at night. Please help all of us mothers who believe we made the best decision to provide" safety first" for our family's . This needs to be a priority safety recall . Having the headlights fail while driving is putting innocent lives in grave danger.
Intermittent lighting failure in the volvo xc90 2006 model. The headlamps just fail. Volvos are supposed to be safe. My family and I could have been seriously injured or worse. I have spent thousands of dollars to fix the issue and I still have the problem. I can not drive at dusk or at night because of this.
I bought a 2006 volvo xc90 ocean race (limited edition) SUV on 3/21/06. The morning of 3/25/06, my car would not start. Volvo roadside assistance jump started the vehicle, which I then drove back to the dealership. The battery tested fine, and the vehicle was returned to me. On 4/27/06, again the car would not start. Vehicle was returned to me on 4/29, no-charge invoice says "replace engine management and starter relays. Rechecked numerous times, o.k." car again failed to start 5/3/06. It is now 5/9 and 'special' volvo field tech seem clueless as to the problem. They claim to have checked "everything thoroughly", and now say they want to put 20 -40 miles on my new vehicle, attempting to "recreate the dead battery scenario". Sounds mighty desperate and illogical, considering the car intermittently and unpredictably failed to start only after 10-24 hours of being parked. I feel that all that $ I spent has provided me with little more than various loaner cars, trips to and from the dealership, major inconveniences, headaches, and a growing uneasiness with volvo's reliability and service techs.
